The Strictly pro revealed her thoughts on the judges’ opinions of Strictly Come Dancing It Takes Two.
Katya Jones has slammed the Strictly Come Dancing judges for their harsh comments about her dance with Emmerdale’s Lewis Cope.
She expressed her dissatisfaction with what was said during the show’s pin-off, It Take Two. On Saturday’s (4 October) episode, Katya and Lewis performed a Viennese Waltz to Teddy Swims’ Lose Control.
They scored 27 and the judges had a lot of constructive criticism for the actor, especially Shirley Ballas, who said she wanted more “refinement” and felt the dance was “too aggressive”.

Katya has suggested that the criticism demonstrated how difficult it was, how much time was spent learning it, and how much it cost the judges.
“As a professional, as a teacher, I really would have loved for the judges to express their gratitude for what he did, for the hours and hours he spent learning,” she said.
And they were present for every Viennese Waltz move, including the fleckerl he performed alone, before joining me in the pivots, naturals, reverses, and all of it.
She continued, saying that she thought the dance was “right” for them. We put this number together the way that we felt was appropriate because dancing is an expression for me.
The next dance, which will be a Paso Doble inspired by the movie The Mask of Zorro, was a conversation that host host Janette Manrara had about doing the best they could while dancing.
Movie Week is the third week of Strictly, where each dance is based on a different movie. Ross King would be dancing a Thunderbirds-inspired routine, according to the show’s announcement.
Before, The Mask of Zorro was used during Film Week. Danny Mac also scored 36 points for dancing a Paso to some of the movie’s music.
Lewis is a show’s frontrunner, just like Danny. Some people have complained that Lewis’ prior dance training prevented him from appearing on the show.
Lewis used to compete in hip hop competitions. He is not the only celebrity this year to have prior experience in dance, as Amber Davies has training in musical theatre. Both of them are performing well, though some fans have suggested that the judges are being harsher with them because of their prior training.
